THE ANNUNCIATA A Bit of -Poetry HER PORTRAIT With queenly grace and dignity, it hangs in the reception hall Hangs aloft and smiles benignly. One and all May see it and admire, ' The beauty of the features, enchanced by love fllaternal, Oh may the love we bear her be forever and eternal, Mother's portrait sets the heart on fire. There it hangs in sweet repose, serene and high The sun's rays bright and clear Shine on that face, so lovely and so dear What ever life may bring, we feel that she is nigh. The sparkle in her lovely hair, Her eyes they follow everywhere Lihe to it there is no other That treasured picture of my lllother. Dedicated to my Mother BETTY MORRISEY, '42 REPORTS A smile beamed bright on a happy face, A heart swelled and beat at a mighty pace- A hand was clasped and shaken with glee- A par on the shoulder with a gusty, Aw Gee . A shadow clouded a downcast brow A heart that's stopped all beating now A hand extended, but spurned, not taken A piercing glance, a spirit shaken. T The course of the joy? The reason for sadness? Look in the hand of the holder of gladness, View with your glance, his who speels gloom, A report, that is all, with honor or doom. BRUCE SIDEBOTHAM, '42 MARY IN HEAVEN There she stands in mantle blue, A shining light like stars anew -- Her jeweled hands with grace outstretched, She prays, she blesses and protects. LORRAINE SOLLY, '42 38

r n THE ANNUNCI.ATA And so from fun and reverie, we forty soon were called, To fight with force 'gainst mighty foes That stouter hearts have 'palled. -Our ranks we formed Our flag unfurled A blended green and yellow. Our voices rang in laugh and song, Not always sweet and mellow. And with the waves we rolled along, While Bob and Brady bellowed. Sueeeed we can, suceeed we must, Our motto blazened high, Our chosen slogan we would prove Or at our posts we'd die. dt frst all things went very well hl7e dreamed no trouble pending, Of sea monsters we had heard tell, But thought they were pretending. One day we saw an awful thing, Twas a serpent of the sea- It nodded. blinked, and shooh its head At many more than me. Fear strueh us to the marrow, hVe were pale with consternation For in our lives we had never seen Sueh a horrible creation. Bach shrank the sailors, blanehed with fear Some gazed into the depths below. Just then, brave Bruce hurled out a spear dnd with it strueh a forceful blow. One monster less to fear and dread-- At once we saw the sea was red And angry waves our gallant boat surrounded, Then Joe and Gerry, shrewd and been A fable thus propounded-- Listen, oh mates, and we shall tell What all this signifies- This foe you see is nothing more Than Knowledge in disguise. You know it enters' by bloody road According to the proverb. And so we stood with teeth hard set and a spirit quite superb 40
